So our best offensive player and a DB that have been making plays for us for 3 years both can't go D1?? Should tell you what kind of talent we've had the past few years.

Yeah, ya think. We've been beating out schools like Alcorn State, Austin Peay, and Furman for years. Those were his offers. When you recruit I-AA talent this is what a program looks like.

The transfer out of Stribling shows that local recruiting can be a double edged sword. IMHO when we sign a local (mid-state) player it's vitally important that he/she be successful, have a good career baring injury, and finish their career at MT. Helpful if they have a productive life after college, more so if they stay in the mid-state and have good things to say about MT. (I remember when a vast number of successful TN high school coaches had played under Bubber Murphy - bet we don't have a dozen today in the high school ranks anywhere).

Local players transferring out is just another black eye on MT to some local sports fans.
